Summer has come and as a result I’ve been busy. But fear not, I have been working on new material, including Book II, The Unkindness.

Today’s post is to remind everyone that there is an interim novella available on Kindle called Lost Haven. This story happens a few weeks after the Halloween events in Waking Dream: Devlin. The purpose of this novella was to give my readers a better understanding of my concept of Weirdness. There are several different forms displayed in this novella, hopefully enough to spur your own creative juices so you can help me build the world.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I created the Waking Dream universe so that others could add to it, long after I am gone — such as Lovecraft fans continue to create new stories around the Cthulhu mythos.

Lost Haven is a fast paced story about a mysterious group of individuals called The Order of Seers. It features several new characters as well as a couple of characters from the first book.

I had to throw my hat into the Zombie genre, just a tad, and give my take on the phenomenon. While the story is primarily dark fantasy, it does have horror elements. I try not to limit the story, because life nor the universe is limited. Anything can happen in the Waking Dream.

Soon, I will be releasing another novella, right before Book II. “Shadows on the Soul” completes my trilogy of terror and my homage to H.P. Lovecraft, which started with “The House of the Dead Timbers” and “The Case Study”. “Shadows on the Soul” will be available by the end of summer. Even though they are horror tales, they all related, in some way, to the Waking Dream. Can you find the connections?

I thank you all again for your wonderful support of my writing. I hope you enjoy it.

After a full day of editing, adjusting, formatting and various other things, I have completed the editing of the Waking Dream: Devlin book. It will be submitted to the CreateSpace and various eBook outlets tomorrow, and it should be available for sale by Friday.
